Thread: who or what gives the department of ag the right?

Just a thought - who or what gives the department of agriculture exclusive right to regulate our businesses? Where does it say they can dictate exactly what we can and cannot do? What happens if we refuse them the right to regulate us? Id imagine Id loose my company license but so what? Do the homeowners care that we are ODA licensed?

And EPA. My vendors would also care as well. They do not operate how normal feed stores, Co-Ops or TSC and LESCO do. The DOA enforces the portion of the label that states"for sale to, use and storage by commercial applicators only". Their interpretation of that is Certified Applicators only. Even if something is not listed as a federal RUP or state RUP.

and even with this attitude, Im pretty darn successful, Ric.
I should have guessed the EPA was behind all this. I thought my lib meter worked better...
Maybe we need some libertarians to run government for a bit. That would cut back this bureaucratic bs.

Although you'll find me most times in the Libertarian line, I STILL think there are legitimate examples of government protecting citizens from themselves. I especially feel "some" intervention is warranted when the protection of others (from idiots) is concerned.

I am in NO WAY calling anyone here an idiot. I don't know you. I'm just saying "they're out there".

Al Capone was real successful also.

BTW I recently change my political affiliation to Libertarian. I am socially Liberal and physical conservative which means I believe in the value of the EPA.

I am also Libertarian as well. As such, there is a principle carved in stone about you should be able to do as you wish, however that ends when what you do can directly harm others. Contaminating land or water with pesticides falls under that category. I highly doubt that a Libertarian would condone using 2,4,5-T for lawn weed control or methyl parathion for cockroach control given the hazard to human health as well as the environment by such actions.
